Being totally pedantic, I don't think they have an internet forum.

That looks like a _web_ forum to me ;-)

It could be. But it doesn't have to be.

Not all of the Internet is on the world wide web, whereas all the world
wide web is on the Internet. So, yes because as part of the web it is
also part of the Internet, but no because it is only accessible from
that part of the Internet which is also part of the web. I think.

HTH.

Proper rambling to enjoy the countryside and admire the scenery.

My (limited) experience of the RA is that they have to cover X miles per day
without taking any notice of the beautiful country they are walking through,
just the heels of the person in front.

If you are on one of their walks and you stop to enjoy the views, when you
look round you will find yourself on your own, and the leaders do not seem
to care how many people they lose!

I walked, for the first time, with the RA a couple of weeks ago and I
was surprised at how fast they walked. The leader did regularly check
that we had not lost anyone, but I did not enjoy the walk in the same
way that I would enjoy being out on my own as I was always worried
that I'd be struggling at the back and would be abandoned! As a
"fitness" walk it was perfect.

They were nice people and we did have a couple of stops planned in,
but the actual walking was much faster than I was comfortable with. I
think we did about 13 miles and the terrain was only fairly hilly - so
I don't think I will join them on any long or mountainous walks!
